Wellhead Sand Trap

Wellhead Sand Trap is a special mechanical device designed to separate solids from well stream, protecting upstream equipment, such as HP and LW separators, valves, and instruments. Wellhead Sand Trap is widely used in oilfields during flowback, cleaning and well testing, as well as hydrocarbon production. Wellhead Sand Trap separates sands/solids from well stream by applying gravitational force. Wellhead Sand Trap are designed and fabricated from carbon or low alloy steels as per API standards. Crosses, Valves, and Cylinder for pressure rating over 5000 psi is usually forged, while welded pressure vessel for sand trap is also available.  

Rein Wellhead Equipment designs, and supplies Wellhead Sand Trap is designed to handle high-pressure, and to work under harsh working environment. Rein Wellhead Equipment is a supplier and manufacturer of Wellhead Sand Trap in China.
